Eternals will have a sequel. Or so it seems to suggest a leak of Tales From the Mod Queue , which signals Marvel’s intentions to continue the story. It’s, despite divided reviews and poor reception among fans. But according to the moderators of the threats of Reddit destined for Marvel information, the study is interested in delving into some of the heroes of the film. In other words, Marvel would be seriously considering expanding the background stories not of the group of superheroes, but perhaps some of the most iconic ones.
Always according to Tales From the Mod Queue, the sequel to Eternals “is on a good path”, which would indicate, at least, advances of an early production. The leak suggests that the study analyzes the possibility of integrating the characters into the rest of the stories of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in its entirety. Also, to link the general idea of mythology of the film to a much deeper layer than the one shown on the screen. The rumor seems to agree with some easter eggs that were included in various recent Marvel productions and that allude to the Eternal.
On the one hand, in the recently completed Ms Marvel posters of the public personality of kingo (Kumail Nanjiani). The Eternal, it may be recalled, pretends to be part of a long line of Bollywood actors, one of whose posters showed the show. Also, fans found a similar image in the first photos on the set of the second season of Loki. In them, a poster could be seen announcing a Kingo movie, although it is not clear if it is the same version of the character that was shown in the film.
A calculated risk for Marvel
Of course, a new movie from Eternals, considered a failure for Marvel, is a project of risk that the study considers carefully. For now, Chloe Zhao does not seem involved in the project. Although the source suggests that, if it were, it would be “very restricted” by the president of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige; and co-chairman, Louis D’Esposito. In fact, one of the most complicated points of the possible sequel is the possible total change of tone and rhythm of the film.
That would imply that the much publicized creative freedom that Zhao enjoyed during the filming of Eternals would be dramatically reduced. Also, that there would be modifications not only in the way of showing the superheroes, but also the relationships that are established between them. With half the team kidnapped by the Celestial Arishem and the rest in the middle of a special mission, everything is confusing. It is also not clear what would be the plot of a sequel that should interconnect both ideas. Will it focus on the search for Thena, Makkari, Druig and the rest of the Eternals in the company of Harry Styles’ Eros?
Or would it focus on the rescue and release of Sersi, Phastos, and Kingo after the trial by Arishem? Either plot line is complex enough to sustain a sequel. But, for now, there are no official details about it. In fact, there is considerable silence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe regarding the information provided by Eternals. Beyond the easter eggs and, also, the surprise appearance of two Celestials in Thor: Love and Thunder, the presence of the heroes went unnoticed in the MCU. Even the gigantic figure of the Celestial Tiamut, which should be visible and a source of awe in the world of Marvel, until now, has not been mentioned.
A complicated problem for Marvel
Eternals by Chloe Zhao has been problematic for Marvel since its release in 2021. The film is rated 47% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, the lowest of the producer. On the other hand, it has an audience rating of 6.3 out of 10 on IMDb. So if a sequel were to be produced, it would be a risk based on a considerable failure of plot and tone. One that Marvel does not need right now in the midst of the audience and critical problems it is going through.
If there really is a sequel on the horizon Eternals, could be announced at Marvel Studios’ San Diego Comic Con panel on Saturday, July 23. The event would take place at 7:30 p.m. in Spain and 12:30 p.m. in Mexico. Also, it is likely to be part of the future phase five, to come to fruition.
